Description[?]:
| The DSP accepts the justification for animal experiments on the basis of the medical breakthroughs they lead to which would otherwise not be made. However, we believe animal experimentation should be a lot more restricted than it is currently. Every experiment on animals should have to be approved after a rigorous process of scientific scrutiny to demonstrate that it is necessary. Also, experiments on the more intelligent animals, such as primates, should be severely restricted - if not eliminated. Antoinio Benandez MP (Leader of the Opposition) |

| Random fact: Moderation will not accept Cultural Protocol updates which introduce, on a significant scale, cultures which are likely to be insufficiently accessible to players. In particular, for all significant cultures in Particracy, it should be easy for players to access and use online resources to assist with language translation and the generation of character names. Moderation reserves the right to amend Cultural Protocols which are deemed to have introduced significant cultures that are not sufficiently accessible and which are not being actively role-played with. |
